//------------------------------// // Chapter 2:Heavy's Big Day // Story: The Tale Of Heavy Weight // by Spirit Of Fantasy //------------------------------// Chapter 2: Heavy's Big Day Six Years Later It was a beautiful dawn for the city of Canterlot, Celestia's sun was now rising over the mountain and with it the city was starting to stir with slow activity as ponies emerged from their homes to start the new day. For many ponies it was slow and a challenge, but for one little colt, getting ready for his first day at Celestia's School For Gifted Unicorns was as easy as breathing for him. The sun continued to rise over the city as it finally hit a small house on the edge of the city, as the suns rays hit the small window, the window immediately swung open and the head of a white colt with an icy blue mane looked out it with a gleaming smile of excitement. He was excited and smiling to the whole city as he pulled his head in, jumped away from the window and exited his small room. "Today's the day!"The colt yelled in excitement. He quickly rushed down the stairs of his small house completely full of energy as he stopped in the middle of his living room and began to pretend he was punching like a boxer at the air to pump himself up. He then looked to his coffee table and brown couch and suddenly made his horn glow icy blue, with barely a struggle he picked up both the table and the couch and began lifting them up and down like a pair of dumbbells while giggling to himself in fascination about magic. He then began to get impatient about being kept waiting when this was his first day of school, he gently lowered the couch and table back where they were and took off again. He ran through his kitchen and looked around before rushing off from the kitchen and coming to a door and slowly opening it. He swung open the door and watched as he saw none other than the unicorn mare Golden Heart sleeping soundly, the colt didn't like that she was sleeping on his first day of school and smirked as he then attacked the bed. He made a big leap and landed on the bed as he walked around it and began jumping on it to wake the mare up. "Mom...! Mom! Mom! Mom!"He called out as the mare suddenly shot up from bed and looked around to see the colt smiling at her."Come on mom wake up! Today's the day!" "*yawn*... Alright Heavy Weight calm down, we still have thirty minutes before you need to go, just...calm...down,"Golden Heart said with a small smile as she slowly got out of bed. "Oh come on mom...!"The colt known as Heavy Weight whined as Golden slowly got out of bed. "My goodness Heavy, you are ready to go aren't you? I suppose I should expect that from you, you're already becoming your father,"Golden Heart said as she got to her hooves and slowly walked with Heavy out to the kitchen. Heavy quickly hopped up to the kitchen table and sat in his seat as Golden Heart made her way into the kitchen and levitated a box of cereal and some milk out and placed them on the table. She then levitated two bowls and two spoons out and placed each pair at the table, she then levitated the box of cereal and dumped a decent amount in each bowl before following it up with a decent amount of milk. With their bowls of Cereal made she quickly put the box of cereal and the milk away and sat next to Heavy wait at the table as they then began to enjoy their breakfast. Heavy Weight quickly began wolfing down his cereal while Golden Heart ate hers slowly and with great manners, she turned and noticed Heavy eating fast and getting milk all over his face. "Heavy... Slow down and wipe your mouth off, you would want to make a good impression by showing manners and discipline to your teachers, you are in a very advanced class for your age and they will be expecting quite a bit out of you,"Golden Heart explained as she levitated a napkin to her son. Heavy stopped eating his cereal and looked to his mother with a mouthful of cereal, it made Golden Heart giggle as he levitated the napkin himself and wiped the milk from his mouth. He then breathed through his nose as he barely managed to gulp down his cereal and smile at his mother with embarrassment. "Sorry mom, I'm just so excited to be going to Celestia's School For Gifted Unicorns, and I'm going to be in Mrs Cloversteps class, they say that she is the best unicorn teacher out there!"Heavy said excitedly as he did his best to eat slowly. "Well It doesn't surprise me, after the high scores you made on those tests it doesn't surprise me, and it's very rare that unicorns your age can already perform spells such as levitation, not to mention you already know how to create magical shields,"Golden Heart explained as she ate another spoonful of cereal. "Yeah, but I only managed to do it because of you,"Heavy pointed out as his mother let out a chuckle. "Heavy, I only gave you some guidance towards the dreams, It was the fiery will that you inherited from your father that helped you learn these spells, and there are so many more things you can learn,"Golden Heart explained as a more important question struck Heavy. "Hey mom...? What was dad like? Did he ever go to the school?"Heavy suddenly asked to Golden Hearts surprise. "Well... Yes he did go to the School For Gifted Unicorns, It was actually where we first met, he was very excitable and he stopped at nothing to be the best unicorn he could be,"Golden Heart said as they both looked to a picture that had Golden heart and a burly stallion that looked like Heavy Weight with green eyes."He was determined, it didn't take him long before he became the toughest unicorn any pony had ever seen, even Celestia herself was impressed and took him under her wing, after a while he became the greatest captain of the royal guard, and that was around the time when we had come to love each other." "Wow... Why isn't he around any more?"Heavy asked with pleading eyes. "Well... He died a hero Heavy, he gave his life to save the princess from a crazed assassin, he fought gallantly and defeated the assassin, but he lost his life in the process, but I'm sure if he was here, he would be so proud of you,"Golden Heart said as she patted Heavy's back while he finished up his cereal. "I hope that one day I can be strong like him?"Heavy asked as he levitated his bowl to the sink. "I have no doubt that you will son,"Golden Heart said as she then noticed the clock."My goodness! It's time for school already!" Heavy quickly looked at the clock and saw that she was right as he let out a scared gasp and quickly bolted off the chair, he raced to the door and picked up his back pack and was about to leave before being called. "Heavy Weight...! Have a good first day at school! When you get back, we'll do a little training of our own,"She said as Heavy opened the door to leave. "Okay mom...! I love you mom!"Heavy called out as he left the house. "I love you too sweet heart..."Golden Heart said as she walked over to the door and waved to him. When Heavy Weight was off and out of sight she went back inside and had nothing but hopeful thoughts for her son, she turned to the same picture her and Heavy were staring at and smiled as a tear streamed down her face. "He's on his way now Mega, oh I wish you could be here to see him go off to school,"Golden Heart said in a solemn tone. In that moment she began to feel under the weather, sweat began to form over her fore head and she began to feel light headed. Not wanting to worry, she walked back to her room to lay down and suddenly began to cough violently and uncontrollably, she had finally managed to make it to her room and laid down in her bed while still coughing until finally falling asleep. meanwhile Heavy weight was running down the streets of Canterlot with the biggest smile on his face, as he ran towards the Celestia's School For Gifted Unicorns he couldn't help but notice a familiar sight that he had seen before. He smiled as he saw the two old looking concession stands that gave out foods such as apples and cotton candy that he always liked to mess around with. As Heavy took noticed, his smile became mischievous on his face for he had something devious planned, he walked over to a cart and hid under a small cart and began laughing as he made his horn glow. He then effortlessly began to levitate both stands with his magic, He lifted the stands a good sixty feet and spun them around before suddenly making the stands freeze and chose to hold them there until just the right time. He had time to stop laughing before two familiar stallions came out of their homes in matching blue robes to discover their stands were missing. "What the hay happened out here!"yelled the Earth pony. "I don't know, but the real question is where the hay is our stands?" replied the Pegasus. "I don't know, but we need to find them, their the only way that we can make any money!"yelled the Earth pony. The two stallions continued arguing with each other while Heavy Weight giggled to himself about his little prank. After a good ten minutes of watching to the two stallions fight about their missing stands Heavy Weight finally decided to let down the stands, Heavy Weight giggled as he used the magic to slowly shake the stands right over the heads of the clueless stallions. As the stands shook like leaves, splinter of wood came off from one of the stands and hit one of the stallions on the nose and the head, this got their attention as they looked down at the wood splinters that fell. They then slowly brought their heads up slowly and looked at each other with looks that said "OH CRAP!" Both stallions looked up instantly to see the stands finally falling down upon them and demolish in a big crash, a few moments later the stallions finally emerged from the two stand wreck with shocked looks on their faces beholding their destroyed business's. "YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! NOT THIS NONSENSE AGAIN!"Screamed the Pegasus. "I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!" shouted the Earth pony. they then looked at each other as if they were blaming each other for this mess, with both glaring one another down, they were about fight until the sound of a loud high pitch laughter was heard. Heavy Weight was still under the cart laughing his head off at the two stallions. He got so caught up in his fun he didn't notice the two stallions lifting up the cart and revealing Heavy Weight as he continued to laugh at them. It was not until he saw two huge shadows over him, and when he then noticed the cart was not over him any more that he realized that he has been caught. He gulped as he slowly began to turn his head to see two angry stallions who were now staring Heavy weight down. Finally one of the Stallions finally spoke while seething with anger. "YOU...! HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO OUR STANDS YOU LITTLE BRAT! AT LEAST WE FINALLY CAUGHT YOU THIS TIME!" The Pegasus screamed in the colts face. the Earth pony was next to speak up and he spoke with a more calm voice, but was clearly was angry as well. "Do you have any idea how long it takes to rebuild those stands?!" he spoke. Heavy weight managed to brush aside his fear of the stallions as a smirk grew on his face and he bravely replied to them as his fear was completely cast to the wind. " No, but good luck with the repairs,"Heavy said before bursting into a fit of laughter. A moment of silenced took hold with Heavy Weights choice of words, then suddenly the both stallions yelled. "THAT DOES IT!"Both stallions screamed. They then snorted as they both suddenly leaped into the air to make a grab for Heavy, but before they could capture him. His exercise's and practice kicked in and with a brave and serious look and deep breath. He lit up his horn and manage to throw up a big icy blue shield around himself. The stallions once again found themselves caught in their momentum and slammed face first against Heavy's shield. Heavy smirked as he then made his horn glow brighter and let out a big grunt of force. Suddenly making the shield rapidly expand like a blown up balloon. The shield had expanded so quickly that it blew the stallions away and made them crash right back into the ruin pile that was once their stands. The stallions slowly rose out of the pile in a daze before giving up and laying down on their piles of wood while Heavy just stood their laughing "Ha Ha! Is that all you two got?! you stallions are weak!" he yelled before turning around and left with a proud smile, leaving the two stallions dazed and overwhelmed. The rest of Heavy Weights trip went on uneventful until he saw it, Celestia's School For Gifted Unicorns, he lit up as he rushed to the entrance and smiled brightly at the building. "FINALLY!" he said looking at the entrance. Now that he was here, he began to feel a little bit nervous knowing that this school was the best and he would have to be the best if he wanted to succeed, he let out a deep sigh as he remembered what he was aiming to be. He remembered his mom and his dad and knew that he wanted to make them proud, he finally opened his eyes and stared down the school with a sudden fire of determination in his stomach. "Alright Heavy Weight. All of mom's early teachings prepared you for this, dad is up there watching you and you don't want to let him down... Lets do this!"Heavy Weight said to himself as he then ventured into the school.
